Hardcover. Condition: Good. The essays within 'Leonard Bernstein' do not simply retell the Bernstein story; instead, Leonard Bernstein's brother, Burton Bernstein, and current New York Philharmonic archivist and historian, Barbara B. Haws, have brought together a distinguished group of contributors to examine Leonard Bernstein's historic relationship with New York City and its celebrated orchestra. One of the most gifted, celebrated, scrutinized, and criticized musicians in the second half of the twentieth century, Leonard Bernstein made his legendary conducting debut in 1943, at age 25. In 1976, having conducted the Philharmonic for more than one thousand concerts, Leonard Bernstein took his orchestra on tour to Europe for the last time. This collection of essays explores Bernstein's remarkable career and his impact on AMerica and the world, through the loens of the new York Philharmonic. Included are nearly 150 black-and-white images, many previously unpublished, as well as excerpts from writings, personally marked scores, and manuscripts. Chronology, Contributors, Photo Credits, Index. Illus., black-and-white photos. 223p.…
